I found something once that described it better that started with an A but I can't remember it was about being meaningless too but not so much about not having a definition of god but believing that since it can have no impact it should not even be worried about.

AHA!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism
Not so much dealing with God one way or another but more about meaning.
Quote:
absurdism is a philosophical school of thought stating that the efforts of humanity to find inherent meaning will ultimately fail (and hence are absurd) because the sheer amount of information as well as the vast realm of the unknown make total certainty impossible.

oh i see. i thought it was in terms of the whole religious debate thing...the debate about meaning in the universe and the world...that's a philosophical debate.
Absurdism is pretty clutch. Quietism as well.
but yeah, no meaning. just attempts at reconciliation.

interesting that Quietism is a type of christian philosophy
i try to avoid stupid 'labeling' of my personal beliefs but found absurdism is pretty close.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quietism_(philosophy)
